Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: With the Nasdaq now down more than 15%, what would be your top 5 picks in the tech sector (both Canada and US) for growth given at least a 5+ year hold period?

I'm looking for stocks with great fundamentals that have just taken an unfair beating due to sector rotation and fear selling.

Q: Disregarding objectives/diversification etc, how would you rank these companies in order of buying right now (for steady growth)? If you think any (or all) should not be bought currently, just omit from your ordering. Thank you!

Q: For context, this is a locked in RSP which will likely turn into a LIF and I am looking at this in terms of a dividend stream. Cashed in some cnq and have cash to deploy.

Of those mentioned, for relative safety of capital, good yield and yield appreciation, how would you rank these (cdn or us it does not matter). For eg, ABBV has an attractive yield but I am unsure of patents expiring etc. You thoughts.

Thank you

Q: Where/how could one accurately determine the dividend payout ratio... It seems like an important fact, that is often not listed and often hard to obtain. I've read some Earnings are calculated after perferred dividends. Referencing GEI and Pembina, what are their annual divdend payout ratios?

Q: A follow-up question on Shopify. If someone has already asked, disregard.
What impact will/did the news have that the company was terminating fulfilment contracts with some providers? In your opinion, is this a positive or negative? Maybe a positive that they have found a better way to do it (themselves) or a negative that things aren't working out as planned? Should the company have anticipated the reaction to the news and had a better prepared statement to deflect some of the price reaction? Finally, do you consider this a gradual buying opportunity?

Q: Hello Peter,
It appears that Knight Therapeuctics is testing ones patience for long term investing. Do you think it is worth a hold given the lack of performance for a long time? I am bit puzzled as sometimes when there is no attention paid to a stock, it is a good time to buy if the leadership and fundamentals appear to be intact. Please advise. Also, Nuvei seems to be developing more partnerships. Is it worth adding to a full 5 percent position as it has settled into the 80s range.. Thank you for the service.

Q: I am a recent retiree with a portfolio concentrated in financials, oil & gas (currently, anyway) and telecomms. Would a combination of the dividend-producing DRD, BTG/BTO:CA, and AR:CA make for a sufficiently diversified entree into gold stock? After yesterday's jump is gold looking more attractive as a diversifier and portfolio "insurance" provider?
Thanks!
